The Pursuit of Pleasure: A Godly Perspectiveਨਮੂਨਾ

God Can Set You Free
Until we come to the end of ourselves, we will always be susceptible to falling into bad habits that can never give us the relief we are seeking (James 4:7). The good news is, if you have become over-reliant on a substance, practice, belief system or relationship to cope with the pressures of life, through Christ, you can be set free from the cycle of slavery (Galatians 5:1).
In the book of John, Jesus addresses each human’s innate desire to belong and feel loved. In chapter four, He speaks to a woman at a well, and tells her: “You have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband... If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” (John 4:13-17 NIV)
In essence, Christ told the woman she was trying to quench the thirst of her soul with the superficial love of men who could never satisfy her deep longing. He was reminding her that true fulfillment could only be found in Him and not in any human relationships.
